Children Stop at Nothing to Get What They Want
Well, that was the case in Wisconsin this past weekend when a 3-year-old ended up trapped in a vending machine.
Robert Moore’s grandma gave him and each of his three siblings $1 to play in a retailer’s game room. After unsuccessfully attempting to “fish” for a Sponge Bob stuffed animal, Robert squeezed through an opening in the machine and landed in the stuffed animal cube. The store employees were not able to find a key to the machine, so the local fire department was called to the rescue. Luckily, the boy was removed and went home safe.
If you haven’t ever played this game before, it is an addictive one. We recently gave each of our kids $1 and my daughter caught a cute stuffed turtle on her first try. We then went through about $3 additional dollars and never caught anything for little brother! But, I’m proud to say, we just walked away (with our now $5 turtle). Nobody ended up in the machine!
